ASUN fails to act on video bill

The ASUN Senate failed to override a
presidential veto of a senate bill passed
in May that officially condemned the
use of videotaped class instruction at
UNL.
During the last senate meeting of
the spring semester, Doug Weems of
the Arts and Sciences College and Ed
Miller of the Graduate College intro
duced the bill, saying that the use of
videotaped instruction defied the pur
poses of higher education.
In May, ASUN President Chris Scud
der vetoed the bill because, she said,
no one knew whether the program
would work during the summer.
But Wednesday night Weems intro
duced a different version of the bill,
which failed to get on the floor. He then
moved to override the veto, but that
motion was defeated by a vote of 18 to
six with one abstention.
During open forum before the final
vote Vice Chancellor for Academic
Affairs Robert Furgason and Dean Gary
Schwendiman of the College of Busi
ness Administration spoke against the
bill.
Furgason said he wouldn't have to
defend using the videotaped account
ing classes if state legislators had not
cut $3.8 million from the university
budget.
"I'm not sure the legislature really
cares whether the classes are video
taped," he said.
Furgason said videotaped classes
are not the ideal situation, but if
administrators did not introduce them,
they would have to raise the grade
point average requirements for the
upper-level classes.
Miller said he understands Furga
son's position, but he said the video
tapes were no different than corrspon
dence courses.
Schwendiman said similiar video
tape classes are used at the University
of South Carolina and Colorado State
University, and students at those
schools liked the videotaped account
ing classes better.
According to Schwendiman, when
more students enroll in CBA, the col
lege receives less money from the
university.
Furgason said if ASUN was dead-set
. A A.X. JA I 1
againsi using me viaeoiapea classes r
before they have seen how they work, L
then the classes won't work.
Kathy Vitton of the Arts and Scien
ces College said, "You can't assure that
a videotape won't break, but you can
assure that a professor won't."
If videotapes were so effective, How
ard asked the senate, why didn't Fur
gason and Schwendiman send a video
tape to the meeting? Videotapes may
work, Howard said, but they are not as
effective as the real thing.

Get moving (and shaking) with Campus Rec
By Lisa Donovan
Staff Reporter
Lifting books and walking or biking
to class may not be the most fulfilling
form of exercise for some UNL stu
dents, but UNL's Campus Recreation
Program may be able to remedy that
with its 1986-87 calendar of activities.
The first activity for campus intra
murals, a cross-country run, is Sept. 3,
said Stan Campbell, campus recreation
director. The run will be at Oak Lake
Park, First and Charleston streets.
Other intramural activities include
men's and women's slow-pitch softball
leagues and co-recreational football.
Both leagues have Sept. 3 sign-up dead
lines. Besides league activities, a mud
volleyball tournament is planned.
Campbell said the most visible pro
gram offered through Campus Recrea
tion is the intramural sports, ". . .how
ever, the organization offers a great
deal more," Campbell said.
Some of the programs and activities
include outdoor recreation, open rec
' reation, instructional classes, leisure
activities, Century Club and club sports.
Open recreation has nine areas on
city campus. These include: Mabel Lee
Field, Mabel Lee Hall, Men's Physical
Education Building, the Coliseum,
Schulte Fieldhouse, IlarperSrhramm
Smith Recreation Complex, the Crew
Boathouse, 1 9th and Vine softball fields
and CatherPound Recreation Complex
and fields. East Campus has two open
recreation sites: the East Campus Rec
reation Complex and Intramural Fields.
For outdoor activities, students can
rent sporting equipment from the
Campus Recreation office. Offering a
wide variety of outdoor sports gear, the
Campus Recreation office, 1740 Vine
St., has rental equipment available
from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through
Friday. The Campus Recreation Center
East (East Campus) has rental equip
ment available from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
Campus Recreation also has ex
panded their curriculum by adding to
the instructional courses now offered.
"Some of our trips are new this
year," Campbell said. "We have a trip

planned to New Zealand at semester
break titled "Tramping in New Zea
land." According to Campbell, the trip
is outdoor-oriented. Most of the activi
ties will include walking and hiking.
"We have a trip that's not absolutely
new, but it's one we haven't done in
several years," Campbell said. ". . .It's
titled 'Mexican Odyssey.' It's a back
packing trip through the Bronca del
Cobre, which is the Mexican version of
the Grand Canyon." The trip is at
semester break.
The campus recreation program has
existed since 1970 and, according to
Campbell, is a very successful program.
"We did a survey of about two years,
which indicated that about 76 percent
of the students got involved in at least
one of the Campus Recreation pro
grams per semester," Campbell said.
Students wishing to participate in
the activities are encouraged to con
tact the campus recreation manager on
their floor if they're living in residence
halls, or their intramural chairperson if
they're living in a fraternity or sorority.
Remember What Music Means To You?
Students who stop playing instruments or sing
ing rarely start again after college. You do have
time for an enriching social and artistic exper
ience. Call the School of Music or drop by
